Oh Noooo

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
ok ..you can easily start from scratch when you get back in town.do a little reading about the nitrogen cycle, and use new mechanical media pads(filter), and rinse out your bio media well.. and when you have forgotten all this on vacation dial us up again :)ps, leave it all running while you are gone if you want ,it sure wont hurt anything
 
Nice..perfect for a community tank
 
Yeah I don't think any of us have asked yet...what do you plan on doing for fish? Community, cichlids, oddballs, natives, catfish (do catfish, at least one :) ).
 
You and your boyfriend can't move it? Lol are you both like 100lbs soak and wet? I can carry a standard 75 gallon by myself not problem. Shouldn't be too hard to empty and scoot

Full of water, sand, and rocks both he and I managed to move it the inch we needed successfully. When it was empty with just sand and small stones my boyfriend could probably lift it on his own, but the length and the fact that it's glass it needed two people to get it up on a stand. He is about 6f tall and very fit, so not an issue of strength there. I doubt I did much to really help today at all. I'm not strong at all so I couldn't lift it empty let alone full..but I tried to contribute.

Anyhow, all has worked out.

Divemaster, we have decided on silver hatchet fish, clown loaches, and guppies to start out. We would like a crayfish, but I'm not sure if it would attack my loaches with its claws.I also used to keep my betta in a community /20 g tank and I'd like to have one again one day.
 
for cycling the tank, you dont need to run the carbon. if you are gonna be away for a while and cant feed fish, you can do one of two things. you can get some ammonia from the cleaner isle of the store and dose small amount of that. just make sure it is pure ammonia, no scents added. or, just get some cheap fish food and throw it in there. the decomposing food will produce the ammonia for the bacteria to eat.

Cool! But just so you know, crayfish do best in species tanks. A cray would most likely kill your guppies at night when they are vulnerable. Loaches are at risk as well with one. I still think you should do at least one cat, plecos help control algae. If you are interested at all in cats I'd suggest looking at http://www.planetcatfish.com . But that's because I'm obsessed with catfish :)
